War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
High overcast with a cool sea breeze this early Wednesday on California’s north coast — the short work week might be a little tougher, but the weekend’s in sight. And speaking tough — little Eddie Snowden has upped the ante, telling NBC‘s Brian Williams: “I was trained as a spy in sort of the traditional…
Ground fog and a bit warmer than usual this way-early Friday on California’s north coast — and the weekend, for all practical purposes, is right around the corner. The corner being today — a blind spot still. Due to our constant cloud overhang, we might miss a big meteorite performance tonight and early in the…
Clear half-moon hanging out over the Pacific Ocean this early Tuesday on California’s north coast as we spiral on into the work week. There some chance of rain the next few days, but if anything, the precipitation will be misty drizzle — heavy rain is not our forte here on the coast. And yesterday, California…
Bright and clear, a bit on the chilly side, but still a most-suitable Sunday morning here on California’s north coast. And a high pressure hanging out over the Pacific will supposedly keep us in ‘most-suitable’ conditions through Wednesday — yet who knows? Not when involved in a tale told the wife of Reginald Hargreaves. Yesterday,…
Raining and warm this early Friday as we grind down another work week and ready ourselves for a couple days of no bullshit from ground level. In the ongoing spying- bullshit from way-up yonder, and a sigh of relief: In a 32-0 vote, the House Judiciary Committee passed the USA Freedom Act, a bill that…
(Illustration: The Dick, George Jr., and Rummy posture-preen serious — found here) As a sixth-grader, I was near-about convinced the United States of America was the greatest country in the history of the world. In 1960, we Americans figured our shit didn’t stink. Mainly and just-about all due to our elders telling us so, inbred…
Raining fairly heavy this way-too-early Wednesday on California’s north coast, but maybe the sun will show itself later, like it did yesterday afternoon — gorgeous and warm. We need the rain, though, and lots more. Quick snapshot of America 2014 from Democratic pollster Celinda Lake: “Both parties are universally despised. The best thing the Republicans have…
Clear and chilly again this early Wednesday on California’s north coast — mid-week weakly here. No earthquakes during my morning bath, but there’s been two little shakers since I got up earlier, and the movement continues. Fascinating life in the nowadays, huh? War in the Crimea, a big passenger jet still missing after nearly two…
High overcast and calm this early Friday on California’s north coast — the sky placid and easy. Weather around here the last few days has been incredible with tons of sunshine and warm breezes, spring has forecast its arrival — maybe. Meanwhile, back east in the DC shithole of government, a crisis is brewing on…
Clear and windy this Wednesday morning on California’s north coast — all seems quiet. Appearances, though — the ground is settled here, but a 5.1 earthquake was reported yesterday afternoon off the Oregon coast, about 250 miles from Coos Bay, and way out in the Pacific from my vantage point. Still, the shaker is near…
